In 2014, he earned his Bachelor’s of Science degree in Exercise Science and, in 2017, earned his Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. Brent was involved in sports throughout high school including track, wrestling, football, and cross-country, which led him down the career path of physical therapy.
